I have mixed emotions this day as Jerry Howarth announces his retirement. For last 10 years I’ve had the honour of working with him on #BlueJays radio network @FAN590 A true privilege for me. #ThankYouJerry

Jerry Howarth is a part of the @BlueJays and part of Toronto. On behalf of all Toronto residents and Blue Jays fans, I wish Jerry a long and happy retirement. He's a very special person and we will miss his voice on the air. pic.twitter.com/xXAa2QW3YY

Wow!! Thinking about it when I heard the news, I can't believe that Jerry has been my summer voice since I was 16! Looked forward to spring and I hear "Live from Dunedin Florida, it's time for Blue Jays Baseball" and "Hello Friends" #ThankYouJerry for all of the wonderful days!! https://t.co/5LijEMBKGy

Back in Oct. I’d emailed Jerry to see if he could chat about the 92’ WS. He couldn’t w. his voice but wrote the kindest note to decline. THEE Jerry said he admired ME? Get outta here. There’s no one like him & I’ll dearly miss his voice on the airwaves. #ThankYouJerrypic.twitter.com/hGqoD7lKyP

News of @BlueJays radio legend Jerry Howarth's retirement fills me w/ great memories. As a kid, I'd tuck transistor radio under pillow to listen as Tom & Jerry called late-night games from West Coast. #ThankYouJerry! We were privileged to have you!

After 36 years, the voice of the Blue Jays has announced his retirement. #ThankYouJerry for all your love and dedication to this organization, and thank you for your love and dedication to its fans. We wouldn’t be who we are without you.

So many great memories of Jerry Howarth and Blue Jays baseball when I couldn't watch; early bed time as a kid, being outdoors and long drives #ThankYouJerry Enjoy retirement Mr. Howarth! #YesSirThereSheGoes

I'll never forget work with /watching my dad work in the garage on the perfect summers day in Utopia, #JerryHowarth calling the game was the perfect soundtrack. I wish I could tell him just how much his work and passion meant to me and countless others. #ThankYouJerry
